ZeniMax has been hosting QuakeCon, a celebration of all things Bethesda, id Software, and gaming as a whole, annually since 1996. During their presentation, they announced that the retro classic, Quake, would be available for many consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. Quake is an action game, a fantasy first-person shooter, which sees players navigate dark and gritty environments to get rid of grotesque monsters.
In a remastered version sure to be envied by its original, Quake offers up to 1080p resolution in docked mode. "The Scourge of Armagon" and "Dissolution of Eternity" expansion packs are also available, alongside two additional expansion packs, "Dimension of the Past," and the all-new "Dimension of the Machine," developed by MachineGames.
The classic multiplayer experience is here in all of its glory, with four-player online local and split-screen co-op and up to eight player online multiplayer. Finally, you can get together with friends and play this classic on the go, even with motion controls!
If you're feeling creative, mods are available for players to tailor their experience to their liking. Cross-play is enabled, too, with players being able to play together on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Who knows, this may be regarded as one of the best online multiplayer games available right now.
If you're looking for a physical release, Limited Run Games is offering pre-orders for a limited physical edition for Nintendo Switch starting on August 27.
